Leased car moving to Georgia
Georgia lets the county start the title request after Form T-17
The county registration shows the leasing company as owner and the lessee's Georgia address. If the lessor holds the out-of-state title, the county agent requests it after the customer supplies the original registration and Form T-17.
Georgia timing30 days after moving
Georgia says the lessee cannot obtain the plate if a required title is not in the leasing company's name or is not applied for during registration.
